Lvl 90 crafted gear

This was discussed a little bit here:

Looks like the ability to customize secondary stats gives crafted gear an edge.

ya im a tank so i was thinking it would be better than the lvl100, while fully melded

The 5 STR/6 VIT difference, I'd be inclined to say not. Having more secondary stats is nice, but main stat boosts are more valuable most of the time.

This only apply for accessories. The i70 allow you to put Vitality on pieces that have Strength so you're sacrificing some Vit for Str and other stats. However, for i90 crafted, Strength and Vitality are already capped on the left side piece so you're sacrificing Vitality for Parry/Determination. No amount of secondary stats will make up for loss of Vitality. Accuracy might be worth considering but new gears have so much in it you won't need it.

Example the Cashmere White mage set, has the base of i90, and you have spell speed, crit AND det on the same peice makes it much better a little less to 110, you sacrifice a little vit though.

Example:

Weathered Daystar Sollerets i100
vit 34 mnd 34 det 0 crit 38 spell spd 0 pie 20
Fully Melded Cashmere skirt of Healing i90
vit 29 mnd 29 det 24 crit 34 spell spd 33 pie 0

Your basically getting an extra secondary stat, and these all work on each other,
